| Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check? oouch! yep. that would have hurt me too, I'm sure. Keep going over there and letting her hear that system... ultimately she'll cave, as she'll get used to that one and want to upgrade! ..maybe.Or, simply point out the "cute little remote" a new SY... | |
| need advice on refinishing speakers. Do's & Don'ts Mitch2thanks... I agree.Infact I called the Phase Tech Factory and asked about removing the drivers and what all it entailed... It's a snap according to them... Couple screws, and two wires on the units..Given the detailed info and detailed work i... | |
| Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check? Smart move! One for fear.Next time buy what you want, and give it to her as a gift... if she doens't like it, just apologize and tell her "OK. Then I guess I'll be forced to use it myself... but it's OK dear, I'll make do with it." Whatever it is,... | |
| Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check? MrtennisGood. At the very least, you know where you’re going. Thanks.MdhooverA good relationship with a dealer... Always a plus, and another one for ‘ears’. ThanksTimrhuCool. Opportunism. I never have that sort of luck, so I don’t even try. Thanks... | |
| Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check? Wow! you know all them people? That's heavy.I can't think of everything.... though I purposely left that one out figuring someone would mention it pretty soon.No one is restricted to the list if they have another 'hot button' that pushes them over... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase to answer the question, "No." Never lied about buying stereo stuff... I did figure out a way to buy stuff I wanted however... Like one time I bought her a circular saw. She said "Thank you, but I cant' use that!" Oh, I'm sorry honey... then I'll u... | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. I suppose you're talking "flat" down to 30hz. rolling off is another story... top string on the bass goes to 41hz. It would seem 30hz sufficient... save the rest of the show. the dealer said the JR's do 36Hz. it's a mighty impressive 36, if you as... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? It’s great to see just how many varied lines of experience here say going with ‘same same’, throughout is fine, and others indicating ‘to each’ their own. Of all the more remarkable and fascinating results I’ve experienced thus far after sampling ... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? Jadem6Thanks... I read all the items you posted... Apparently you didn't get my email following up on things. But things are fine since i've rebuilt & reconfigured, the $100 rack… which now is maybe $200… given the additional materials employe... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? Lastly... to either dispell or confirm... is there indeed truth in the notion a 'good' rack is in no need of ancilliary iso devices?...or will all racks allow performance boosts from the incorporation of pucks and/or platforms?My thinking here is ... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? listener57 ...thanks. I'm inclined to try several of the above notions in isolating system devices... which one, however,is another matter entirely.... tube rings are for sure... Symposium roller blocks are likely too... and those platforms from n... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? thanks, Tvad. I'll bear that in mind. Intellectually speaking, of course. I have seen folks mention those mini slabs or rocks that sit atop rotating sources... I can't see any other reason for them save their damping effect... and Lord, the prices... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? well, now we're talking... Thanks for the Herbie update. I had forgotten all about that one.I've seen the changes that come from using 'spongy' iso devices first hand. I tried some styrofoam under some lightwieght itmes like mass fi DVD players an... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? Well. Again, thanks.reckon three instead of four is cheaper too. Hmmmm. Now which to try. ...but first the wood on top of the pods seems the, or 'a', way to go.I truly thought living in a hunters paradise, shot would be most available. It ain't. W... | |
| Boost system performance via isolation? thanks Tvad &g Jgiacalo, good stuff.I've one thing that's been bugging me as I've not run across the "Why" of it..."How come the use of 'three' gizmos instead of four like the feet of the device?"...and then of course, Where? Leave the feet on... |
